Just finished watching Darabont’s The Mist. I enjoyed this moving a great deal. Very shocking with just the right amount of thrills and horrors. Unfortunately the ending was, I thought, a bit silly. If only he had waited 5 minutes!!! If it was me in that situation I would have said screw this and walked into the forrest kiling as many of them before they got me…lol. The ending did not sit well with the rest of the movie and seemed to be there for the sake of giving a shock twist. The movie reminded me a lot of Death of Grass and pushing humans to the extreme in a post-apocalyptic world. Anyway it was good and should have been a bigger hit then it was. Though don’t get me started on Stephen King who I think is a bit overrated as a writer. I wonder how much of the movie came from his novella and how much from Darabont…who by the way needs to stop doing Stephen King adaptions….I think 3 movies is enough even though two of them are more then adequate and one being amazing ( Shawshank Redemption )…..
